Oh look, a real website!

in Announcements

Could it be? Why, yes! The new Four Letter Word website is finally live. Welcome! Much better than that ole splash page now iddinit? I’ve even compiled all of my old blogs so that my writing junk is finally in one place. Neat and tidy like a well-organized picnic basket.

Now before you say, “But where’s the blah? And your wzahhha is no good”, please stop. Forget about trolling and leave me some constructive comments. As many of us know, websites are living breathing things, and I’m happy to hear your suggestions on what to feed mine. Now that you’re here, please check out:

  • My copywriting portfolio
  • More about Four Letter Word
  • A bunch of stuff I wrote about freelancing and copywriting over the years on my personal blog, notmyuncle.com. (everything dated 2009 and earlier)

Money makes the world go round. This we know is pretty freaking obvious. Also, in times like this, you’d better agree pimpin’ certainly aint easy.

One of my forever favourite books, Without Feathers, has been enough Woody to get me through the last 24 years but all euphemisms aside, I’m [...]

Delivering the bad news.

July 18, 2009

The Dip, as it pertains to David Bowie.

June 1, 2009

I’m not talking about Bowie’s graceful yet skeletal dance moves: The Dip happens to be a thing. (Bowie is also a thing. A kind of Minotaur-type thing, but we’ll get to that later.) The Dip is a book. (A little book that teaches you when to quit and when to stick.) It is also a [...]
